Mosquito Bite? or Spider?

it's been 3 days now and i guess i got bitten on my left index finger. It's so swelled up that it looks like it gained 3 ring sizes and now slowly my hand is swelling as if i have a tumor. i can't tell what kind of bite it is because i scratched it so hard that i skinned myself. Should i see a doctor? i mean it only hurts because i use my hand a lot and it hurts as if my muscles were sore. i couldn't even sleep this whole night because of how badly it itched, the only thing that is keeping me from scratching is a bowl of ice cold water. what should i do? at least if the swelling went down i could feel more relaxed.

  • It's probably not life threatening due to the fact you've had it for three days but I would call your doctor at least. I would say it's a bite from a type of bug you've never experienced before but I'm sure your fine!

    Hope that helps!

  • Eek doesn't sound like a mosquito bite to me dear. Sounds like you're describing a brown recluse spider bite and they can get quite painful and nasty. I've had 2 of these bites in the past month and they are no joke at all.
